Git tutorial: Detailed explanation of viewing submission history

Git View Submission History

After using Git to submit several updates, or cloning a project, if you want to review the submission history, we can use the git log command to view it.
For our operation in the previous chapter, use The git log command lists the historical commit records as follows:

$ git log
commit 88afe0e02adcdfea6844bb627de97da21eb10af1
Merge: 14b4dca d7e7346
Author: w3cschool <w3c@w3cschool.cc>
Date:  Sun Mar 1 15:03:42 2015 +0800
  
  Merge branch &#39;change_site&#39;
    
  Conflicts:
    test.txt

commit d7e734640da06055e107eaf29cf350b3f1de1c2c

  changed the site
  
commit 556f0a0637978097b82287ac665a717623b21f3f
Author: w3cschool <w3c@w3cschool.cc>
Date:  Sun Mar 1 14:40:34 2015 +0800
  
  removed test2.txt

We can use the --oneline option to view a concise version of the historical records.

$ git log --oneline
88afe0e Merge branch 'change_site'
14b4dca 新增加一行
d7e7346 changed the site
556f0a0 removed test2.txt
2e082b7 add test2.txt
048598f add test.txt
85fc7e7 test comment from w3cschool.cc

What this tells us is the development history of this project.

We can also use the --graph option to see when branches and merges occurred in history. The following is the same command, with the topology map option enabled:

$ git log --oneline --graph
*  88afe0e Merge branch 'change_site'
|\ 
| * d7e7346 changed the site
* | 14b4dca 新增加一行
|/ 
* 556f0a0 removed test2.txt
* 2e082b7 add test2.txt
* 048598f add test.txt
* 85fc7e7 test comment from w3cschool.cc

Now we can see more clearly when work is forked and when it is merged.

You can also use the '--reverse' parameter to display all logs in reverse.

$ git log --reverse --oneline
85fc7e7 test comment from w3cschool.cc
048598f add test.txt
2e082b7 add test2.txt
556f0a0 removed test2.txt
d7e7346 changed the site
14b4dca 新增加一行
88afe0e Merge branch 'change_site'

If you only want to find the submission log of a specified user, you can use the command: git log --author , for example, let’s say we want to find Linus in the Git source code Submitted part:

$ git log --author=Linus --oneline -5
81b50f3 Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory
3bb7256 make "index-pack" a built-in
377d027 make "git pack-redundant" a built-in
b532581 make "git unpack-file" a built-in
112dd51 make "mktag" a built-in

If you want to specify a date, there are a few options: --since and --before, but you can also use --until and --after.

For example, if I want to see all commits in a Git project that are three weeks old and after April 18th, I can do this (I also use --no-merges option to hide merge commits):

$ git log --oneline --before={3.weeks.ago} --after={2010-04-18} --no-merges
